FAQ
-
How do I know that you are using my inclusions?It comes down to trust. Other than a DNA test, there is no real way to prove that I am using your inclusions. However, as a loss mom, I know how sacred your milk, ashes, etc are and I take great pride in my work. I would never risk damaging my reputation or your pieces that are extremely meaningful to you.

What is your turn-around time?As of January 1st, 2023, my turn around time is 6-12 weeks from the time that I recieve your inclusions. This does not include shipping time.
-
How much milk or ashes is needed?Per order I ask for 0.5 ounce (15ml) of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of cremation ashes, 2-3 large or 3 small dried flower petals, 1 scoop of formula, at least half of the umbilical cord to be used. These amounts provide extra in case of leaks in transit and is enough for several pieces. Once the milk is preserved, I save the extra little bit, label it and keep it for 12 months in case you would like to order more pieces or something happens to your keepsake. Everything else, I send back if there is extra.

Local customersOrders that are placed in NH can choose local drop off for your inclusions and pickup for your finished order.
-
What is the order process?Choose your desired keepsake, whatever beautiful piece brings you joy. If it is a ring, you can choose your size based off of the available sizes on the drop down menu. I do offer "adjustable" as a size so that you can choose to wear your ring on which ever finger you prefer. If you want a specific ring size, but don't know your size, then I recommend stopping into a local jeweler and confirming your size prior to placing your order. Once your stone is set in your ring it cannot be removed or resized due to the possibility of damage throughout the process.
-
Will my jewelry tarnish over time?Your breastmilk has been completely preserved so it will not tun inside the stone. However, your jewelry is made with resin and all resin can yellow over time. To increase the longevity of your keepsakes, please follow the care instructions provided with your finished piece. Sterling silver can tarnish over time. It is recommended to clean sterling silver with a polishing cloth to remove tarnish. Rose gold and gold plating can wear off over time.
